**April's competition has now closed.**
Winners are [
HERE](http://blogs.technet.com/b/wikininjas/archive/2015/05/17/the-microsoft-technet-guru-awards-april-2015.aspx)!
May's competition is [
HERE](http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/30963.technet-guru-contributions-may-2015.aspx)!!
If you contribute any new code, or solutions to problems in the following categories, please add your content (that you write for a Forum or Blog) to TechNet Wiki, and then add a link to your TechNet Wiki article below, to let us know.
**This is a TechNet Wiki awards program, so we only want
WIKI LINKS for articles created in APRIL, not old, external forum or gallery links.** If you have already made a contribution on the forums or gallery, simply copy it into the wiki and reference the original
article, like shown here.
One winner in each category will be selected each month for glory and adoration by the MSDN/TechNet Ninjas and community as a whole. This includes a dedicated blog post in the Wiki Ninjas blog, a tweet from the Wiki Ninjas Twitter
account, an announcement on your forum, and other acknowledgement from the community.
Winners will be voted on by five judges. The judges consist of 3 TechNet Wiki Community Council members and 2 Microsoft Employee SMEs (Subject Matter Experts -usually the people making the technologies). The judges will be looking for articles that are thorough,
technically accurate, visually clear (images might help, but aren't necessary), and well written. (Any community member can help with the "technically accurate" part by reviewing the articles below and either fixing inaccuracies in the article or commenting
on them--asking questions or suggesting fixes.)
**The articles must be written in April 2015 and must be in English.** However, the original blog or forum content can be from before April. Make sure you aren't taking credit for someone else's content (you have to be the author of the original
content and of the Wiki article). The categories listed are targeted to the most popular forums/technologies and ones that we are able to support. We will add more categories as we go (please don't add more categories, instead, leave a comment at the bottom
to suggest a new category).

People are constantly changing things about themselves--- from their hair styles to their clothes, to even the way they physically look. There are some things, like the color of your eyes however, that aren’t as easy to change. Here, one reality tv star has opened up about having had her eyes surgically altered to look gray instead of her natural brown.

I have never really decided whether I like top-down or bottom-up more. Coding by need (coding by intention and TDD) seem to point at top-down. On the other hand, I have been most productive with ngrease by extracting abstractions from concrete examples, bottom-up.
Maybe the two approaches have more in common than at least I have thought. I think they are both special cases of a more general principle.
Below is a graph that visualizes the idea. At the top (the "x" on the first line) is a high-level specification. The task is to find a low-level implementation (the "x" on the last line) with a path to the specification so that the implementation satisfies the specification:
. . . x .  x . . .
Sometimes all we have is high-level constraints, and we don't know or care about low-level details. In that case (or rather, during it) top-down might be the natural way to solve the problem.
On the other hand, if we have low-level constraints, like reusable modules we want to use or some technical legacy requirements, it might be feasible to do bottom-up.
The underlying principle is to connect the dots, in whatever order feels most appropriate, be it top-down or bottom-up or some combination of them. Maybe even connect-somewhere-in-between if we happen to have some framework-level constraints, for example.
The second diagram shows the problem after both special cases of this principle have been applied for a while and we have a much smaller subproblem to solve:
. . . x .  x . . . . . . \ . . . . x .  x . . . .  x .  x . . .

You make natural terrain in a 150-foot cube in range look, sound, and smell like some other sort of natural terrain. Thus, open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road.
Manufactured structures, equipment, and creatures within the area aren't changed in appearance.
The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so creatures entering the area are likely to see through the illusion. If the difference isn't obvious by touch, a creature carefully examining the illusion can attempt an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to disbelieve it. A creature who discerns the illusion for what it is, sees it as a vague image superimposed on the terrain.

arid_countreg.Rd
Function to create class object similar to sci-kit learn's object structure for inferential purposes. Given a data frame, the response, and certain specifications return a generalized regression model interface for count data (either using a poisson or a negative binomial distribution) with a fit, predict, and score functions as well as attributes obtained from the statistical analysis.
arid_countreg( X, y, alpha = 0.05, fit_intercept = TRUE, verbose = FALSE, model = "additive", family = "poisson" )
| X | (data_frame): the input data frame with the explanatory variables to fit the model. |
|---|---|
| y | (integer): an integer vector with the response to be fitted (only natural numbers). |
| alpha | (double): a double vector of length 1 indicating the significance level (default: 0.05) |
| fit_intercept | (logical): if the model should include the intercept (TRUE or FALSE). (default: FALSE) |
| verbose | (logical): if results should include a written explanation (TRUE or FALSE). (default: FALSE) |
| model | (character): type of model to be fitted, either "additive" or "interactive". (default: "additive") |
| family | (character): distributional family to be used in generalized linear model. (default: "poisson") |
a class object with three methods and statistical attributes

Homogeneous assay based on 52 primer sets to scan for mutations of the ABCA1 gene and its application in genetic analysis of a new patient with familial high-density lipoprotein deficiency syndrome.
Familial high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-deficiency syndromes are caused by mutations of the ABCA1 gene, coding for the ATP-binding cassette transporter 1. We have developed a homogeneous assay based on 52 primer sets to amplify all 50 ABCA1 exons and approximately 1 kb of its promoter. The assay allows for convenient amplification of the gene from genomic DNA and easy mutational analysis through automatic sequencing. It obviates the need to use mRNA preparations, which were difficult to handle and posed a risk to miss splice junction or promoter mutations. The application of the test to the molecular analysis of a new patient with familial HDL-deficiency (Tangier disease) led to a discovery of two novel ABCA1 mutations: C2665del and C4457T.


I recently graduated from Bradley University with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Arts in French.
I would love to pursue a career in Software Engineering because I see it as a very unique field of work where I can apply both my logic and creativity in equal parts.
Before coming to the United States to study, I spent the former part of my life in Dubai, U.A.E where I grew up in a very multicultural community. And so I believe that my upbringing and life experiences so far would bring a unique form of diverse insight to any corporation. Other than that, in my free time I also enjoy learning different languages and about the cultures that they originate from.

This blog deals with intellectual property statistics and other data analyses in R. It was built using the blogdown package for R. The theme is the example theme from blogdown and was forked from @jrutheiser/hugo-lithium-theme and modified by Yihui Xie.
This project is a learning experience for me in making and maintaining a statical website, as well as R and statistical analyses. While I will try to present interesting analyses and code examples, the contents should be taken with a grain of salt, as I have little experience in the matters I deal with here.
The site is hosted by Netlify under a subdomain kindly provided by the Rbind community.

GPars is a multi-paradigm concurrency framework, offering several mutually cooperating high-level concurrency abstractions, such as Dataflow operators, Promises, CSP, Actors, Asynchronous Functions, Agents and Parallel Collections.
GPars - 'coz concurrency is Groovy
Why people like GPars
Hear those who are using GPars already, check out the User Voices.
The traditional thread-based concurrency model built into Java doesn’t match well with the natural human sense for parallelism. While this was not a problem at times, when the level of parallelism in software was low and concurrency offered only limited benefits compared to sequential code, nowadays, with the number of cores on a single main-stream chip doubling almost every year, sequential code quickly looses ground and fails to compete in performance and hardware utilization with concurrent code.
Inevitably, for concurrent programming to be effective, the mental models of concurrent systems interactions that people create in their heads have to respect the nature of human brains more than the wires on the chips. Luckily, such abstractions have been around for several decades, used at universities, in telephone switches, the super-computing industry and some other inherently concurrent domains. The current challenge for GPars is to bring these abstractions up to the mainstream software developers to help us solve our practical daily issues.
User Guide
Please refer to the User Guide for an extensive coverage of GPars abstractions. You may also like a few Demos to get a taste of what’s in here for you.
The framework provides straightforward Java or Groovy-based APIs to declare, which parts of the code should be performed in parallel. Collections can have their elements processed concurrently, closures can be turned into composable asynchronous functions and run in the background on your behalf, mutable data can be protected by agents or software transactional memory.
For the common scenario that one or multiple results are calculated concurrently but need to be processed as soon as they are available, GPars makes it a breeze to correctly model this with Dataflow. Dataflow variables and channels gives you a handy abstraction of single-assignment multiple-read data elements, while dataflow operators let you build efficient concurrent data-processing networks.

final SyncDataflowQueue channel = new SyncDataflowQueue()
def producer = task {
(1..30).each {
channel << it //writing to a channel
println "Just sent $it"
}
}
def consumer = task {
while (true) {
sleep 500 //simulating a slow consumer
final Object msg = channel.val
println "Received $msg"
}
}
producer.join()
The concept of Actors as an approach to organizing concurrent activities has recently gained new popularity (thanks to the Scala, Erlang, and other programming languages).
GPars implements this concept for Java and Groovy developers. With actors support you can quickly create several independent Actors, which consume messages passed to them and communicate with other actors by sending them messages. You then build your solution by combining these actors into a communication network.
Let the fun begin!

Bug on Hivemind’s following data by @emrebeyler [bug-hunting]
Hivemind is a new layer for the Steem blockchain, that allows data to be easily transmitted and communicated to users in a more efficient way. This technology was also developed to cut the cost of running a full node on the Steem blockchain. The good news is that powerful technology like this is open source and welcomes contributions, which include bug-reports in case of vulnerability. @emrebeyler found a bug with the “following data” on hivemind. The outstanding aspect of this report is the amount of detail and description included in the report. We find detailed reports especially useful, as they allow the project maintainer to quickly understand, reproduce and fix the error. There were other quality contributions made to the category this week, but this one stands out.

Two cars cordoned off in Kilmarnock with police tape after crash on busy road
There appears to have been a collision between the vehicles near the Ayrshire Athletics Arena, heading towards the Bellfield Interchange.
by Lochlin Highet, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/lochlin-highet/Two cars have been cordoned off with police tape on Kilmarnock's Queen's Drive this afternoon.
There appears to have been a collision between the vehicles near the Ayrshire Athletics Arena, heading towards the Bellfield Interchange.
Both cars are sealed off with police tape and an ambulance car is on the scene.
The road is not shut as it stands as they are both pulled into the side of the road, but traffic is slower than normal around the incident.

Robert Hight wins 3rd NHRA Funny Car season title
by The Associated PressPOMONA, Calif. (AP) — Robert Hight raced to his third Funny Car season title and second in three years Sunday by advancing to the final round of the season-ending Auto Club NHRA Finals.
Steve Torrence won his second straight Top Fuel title, Erica Enders took her third Pro Stock crown, and Andrew Hines raced to his sixth Pro Stock Motorcycle championship.
Hight had a 3.977-second run at 324.59 mph in his Chevrolet Camaro to beat Matt Hagan in the semifinals to wrap up the title, then broke in the final against Jeck Beckman.
“The most important run of my life was in the semifinals,” Hight said. “When it comes down to one run to win a championship, how will you perform? My heart was beating out of my chest, but we got it done. This has just been the steadiest year I’ve ever had and that’s a real tribute to this team. It’s amazing and I’m the luckiest guy in the world to drive this Funny Car.”
Beckman earned his 30th Funny Car victory, winning in a Dodge SRT Hellcat.
Doug Kalitta won the Top Fuel race, Jeg Coughlin Jr. topped the Pro Stock lineup, and Jianna Salinas won in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Advertising
Kalitta raced to his 47th career victory, beating Richie Crampton with a 3.716 at 332.67. Coughlin topped Fernando Cuadra with a 6.558 at 210.54 in a Chevrolet Camaro for his 63rd victory.
Salinas capped her rookie season with her first victory. She beat Jerry Savoie, with a 7.464 at 180.81 on a Suzuki.

Unlimited Games. How should Red play 63?
pips Red=129 White=151
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
The choices are 8/5, 8/2 and 8/2, 5/2. Very surprisingly the latter turns out to be a blunder!
The problem is that holding the 2-pt and the 8-pt together is not good (they can’t both be part of the same prime) and after all, the 5-pt is the 5-pt. While Red holds White’s bar-point as an escape route if hit the risk of playing 8/5, 8/2 is not that high and so the reward is well worth the risk.

The grape race: Suntory's Strong Zero chūhai tops the competition
by Patrick St. MichelA new season means a fresh batch of chūhai cocktail flavors at your local convenience store. With winter on the horizon, the fruit of choice appears to be grape.
Both Suntory’s Strong Zero brand and the dreadfully named Kirin The Strong line of drinks have unveiled a grape variety in time for lower temperatures. The prior promises “triple grape” alongside a 9 percent alcohol content (¥141 after tax) while the latter keeps it simple by offering a more limited grape sour experience (¥141 after tax).
In one of the biggest surprises in recent Konbini Watch memory, Strong Zero’s grape creation is far smoother than the competition. The Kirin grape drink offers the subtlest of fruit flavors, and the real emphasis here seems to be the mouth-stinging sensation of … alcohol. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
The triple grape tastes far superior, and is actually enjoyable to drink. Beverage makers might be embracing the flavor du jour, but not all grape-flavored booze is created equally.

Provide a simple way to create XML markup and data structures.
Generate XML markup notiation
Generate XML events (i.e. SAX-like)
An Builder::XmlTree
class to generate XML tree (i.e. DOM-like)
structures is also planned, but not yet implemented. Also, the events
builder is currently lagging the markup builder in features.
require 'rubygems' require_gem 'builder', '~> 2.0' builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new xml = builder.person { |b| b.name("Jim"); b.phone("555-1234") } xml #=> <person><name>Jim</name><phone>555-1234</phone></person>
or
require 'rubygems' require_gem 'builder' builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target=>STDOUT, :indent=>2) builder.person { |b| b.name("Jim"); b.phone("555-1234") } # # Prints: # <person> # <name>Jim</name> # <phone>555-1234</phone> # </person>
Version 2.0.0 introduces automatically escaped attribute values for the first time. Versions prior to 2.0.0 did not insert escape characters into attribute values in the XML markup. This allowed attribute values to explicitly reference entities, which was occasionally used by a small number of developers. Since strings could always be explicitly escaped by hand, this was not a major restriction in functionality.
However, it did suprise most users of builder. Since the body text is normally escaped, everybody expected the attribute values to be escaped as well. Escaped attribute values were the number one support request on the 1.x Builder series.
Starting with Builder version 2.0.0, all attribute values expressed as strings will be processed and the appropriate characters will be escaped (e.g. “&” will be tranlated to “&”). Attribute values that are expressed as Symbol values will not be processed for escaped characters and will be unchanged in output. (Yes, this probably counts as Symbol abuse, but the convention is convenient and flexible).
Example:
xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new xml.sample(:escaped=>"This&That", :unescaped=>:"Here&There") xml.target! => <sample escaped="This&That" unescaped="Here&There"/>
Version 1.0.0 introduces some changes that are not backwards compatible with earlier releases of builder. The main areas of incompatibility are:
Keyword based arguments to new
(rather than positional based).
It was found that a developer would often like to specify indentation
without providing an explicit target, or specify a target without
indentation. Keyword based arguments handle this situation nicely.
Builder must now be an explicit target for markup tags. Instead of writing
xml_markup = Builder::XmlMarkup.new xml_markup.div { strong("text") }
you need to write
xml_markup = Builder::XmlMarkup.new xml_markup.div { xml_markup.strong("text") }
The builder object is passed as a parameter to all nested markup blocks. This allows you to create a short alias for the builder object that can be used within the block. For example, the previous example can be written as:
xml_markup = Builder::XmlMarkup.new xml_markup.div { |xml| xml.strong("text") }
If you have both a pre-1.0 and a post-1.0 gem of builder installed, you can
choose which version to use through the RubyGems require_gem
facility.
require_gem 'builder', "~> 0.0" # Gets the old version require_gem 'builder', "~> 1.0" # Gets the new version
XML Comments are supported …
xml_markup.comment! "This is a comment" #=> <!-- This is a comment -->
XML processing instructions are supported …
xml_markup.instruct! :xml, :version=>"1.0", :encoding=>"UTF-8" #=> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
If the processing instruction is omitted, it defaults to “xml”. When the processing instruction is “xml”, the defaults attributes are:
1.0
“UTF-8”
(NOTE: if the encoding is set to “UTF-8” and $KCODE is set to “UTF8”, then Builder will emit UTF-8 encoded strings rather than encoding non-ASCII characters as entities.)
XML entity declarations are now supported to a small degree.
xml_markup.declare! :DOCTYPE, :chapter, :SYSTEM, "../dtds/chapter.dtd" #=> <!DOCTYPE chapter SYSTEM "../dtds/chapter.dtd">
The parameters to a declare! method must be either symbols or strings. Symbols are inserted without quotes, and strings are inserted with double quotes. Attribute-like arguments in hashes are not allowed.
If you need to have an argument to declare! be inserted without quotes, but the arguement does not conform to the typical Ruby syntax for symbols, then use the :“string” form to specify a symbol.
For example:
xml_markup.declare! :ELEMENT, :chapter, :"(title,para+)" #=> <!ELEMENT chapter (title,para+)>
Nested entity declarations are allowed. For example:
@xml_markup.declare! :DOCTYPE, :chapter do |x| x.declare! :ELEMENT, :chapter, :"(title,para+)" x.declare! :ELEMENT, :title, :"(#PCDATA)" x.declare! :ELEMENT, :para, :"(#PCDATA)" end #=> <!DOCTYPE chapter [ <!ELEMENT chapter (title,para+)> <!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT para (#PCDATA)> ]>
Some support for XML namespaces is now available. If the first argument to a tag call is a symbol, it will be joined to the tag to produce a namespace:tag combination. It is easier to show this than describe it.
xml.SOAP :Envelope do ... end
Just put a space before the colon in a namespace to produce the right form
for builder (e.g. “SOAP:Envelope
” => “xml.SOAP
:Envelope
”)
String attribute values are now escaped by default by Builder (NOTE: this is new behavior as of version 2.0).
However, occasionally you need to use entities in attribute values. Using a symbols (rather than a string) for an attribute value will cause Builder to not run its quoting/escaping algorithm on that particular value.
(Note: The escape_attrs
option for builder is
now obsolete).
Example:
xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new xml.sample(:escaped=>"This&That", :unescaped=>:"Here&There") xml.target! => <sample escaped="This&That" unescaped="Here&There"/>
UTF-8 Support
Builder correctly translates UTF-8 characters into valid XML. (New in version 2.0.0). Thanks to Sam Ruby for the translation code.
You can get UTF-8 encoded output by making sure that the XML encoding is set to “UTF-8” and that the $KCODE variable is set to “UTF8”.
$KCODE = 'UTF8' xml = Builder::Markup.new xml.instruct!(:xml, :encoding => "UTF-8") xml.sample("Iñtërnâtiônàl") xml.target! => "<sample>Iñtërnâtiônàl</sample>"

Tor - short for The Onion Router is an application that keeps your internet activity anonymous and untracable by bouncing your connection around three random locations and then sending it off the internet. It's still important to use SSL as an unencrypted connection can be spied on by the exit node, the one point in the Tor network where others can view your traffic. Remember, Tor is for anonymity, not so much for security, so Tor + VPN will be nearly bulletproof as it provides a layer of encryption.
All images from the Tor Project
As you can see above, the Tor network builds a random path of three nodes around the world, and they only know the previous connection. The only time the connection is unencrypted is when traffic exits the Tor network to the internet. The path changes when the user does an unrelated action, like visiting a different website.
A hidden service is a website that you can only access through Tor. It uses the .onion domain, and the server learns nothing about you, and you learn nothing of the server. For example, the hidden service for DuckDuckGo is https://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/. Remember, this only works in Tor. If using the https version (highly recomended), you will need to allow a security exception since the .onion domain is not part of the internet, just the Tor network.
Hidden Services work as follows:
Sometimes, a direct connection into the Tor network is not possible due to censorship. That's where bridges, alternative entries into the Tor network come in, and to prevent your ISP or others from knowing you're using Tor, pluggable transports come into the picture. Pluggable transports are a special type of bridge that hides the fact you are using Tor through different methods, the hiding part employing some form of cryptography.
Here's a page listing the types of pluggable transports.
To get bridges for Tor, first go here. Then click on "Get Bridges". Then click on "Just Give Me Bridges" or used the advanced box to choose the pluggable transport you want to use and if you need an IPv6 address. Solve the capcha and you'll get a batch of three bridges. In your Tor settings, configure your connection and say yes when asked if your ISP censors connections to the Tor network. If your network goes through a proxy, you must also set Tor to use it. You can then copy and paste your bridges into the box below.
You don't have to enter bridges as Tor has its own default configured bridges.
Check out the website and Twitter page.
You will be taken to the Tor Project's website, which will list all download options, including the source code.


Last Frank Lloyd Wright home sells for $1.67 million
Home nicknamed 'Circular Sun House'
by Elizabeth Wolfe, CNN and Pete Burn, CNN(CNN) - Sixty years after his death, monuments to Frank Lloyd Wright's innovative vision remain etched into the architectural landscape.
For a fortunate few, owning a structure he designed is within reach.
Wright's final residential design, the Norman Lykes House, recently sold at auction for $1,677,500.
The October 16 auction, held by Heritage Auctions, drew nearly 20 bidders vying for ownership of the iconic home.
"The new owner of the last home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright now owns a masterpiece by America's most iconic architect," Nate Schar, director of luxury real estate for Heritage Auctions, said in a statement.
Nicknamed the "Circular Sun House," the 3,000-square-foot home is tucked into a rocky hillside in Phoenix, Arizona.
Wright designed the home for Norman and Amy Lykes just before his death, drawing upon his concept of organic architecture.
Wright's designs were intended to be both functional and beautifully tailored compositions in which clients would be able to live practically.
The Norman Lykes House lives up to Wright's goals. Its circular elements fit beautifully into the rugged desert surroundings.

@Alright Hi, here's what I have (suggestions): - txid of export
- txid of import (confirmed)
- error and step at which it occurred *
- number of migrates (successful)** ***
- number of migrates (failed)** ***
- time (how long migration took)
* currently no way for us to actually do that, as we poll RPCs until they work, so it will error until the correct amount of notarisations has happened. I got around this on old script, by counting tries and setting a maximum amount. Then logging the transaction, so you can manually check what error it was at a later time.
** Very simple way of counting number if migrates is to just append the txid's to a file, then do cat exports | wc -l
*** number of imports/exports easy to calculate by the length of the txid list. each txid a JSON object and contain another object with imported/exported amount.

Calibrate a Camera
Motivation
In order to be able to track markers you need to calibrate your camera, i.e. measure the camera parameters.
The calibration process may seems long but it's only because there is lots of customization options. The principle is straightforward: (1) print a calibration board and (2) take images with your camera of the board in different positions and orientations. Aruco Unity will generate XML file containing the camera parameters.
To understand the algorithms used, read these tutorials: Calibration with ArUco and ChArUco and Camera calibration With OpenCV.
Calibrate a camera
Most of the cameras we use today on our smartphones or laptops are called in Aruco Unity pinhole cameras (camera using a rectilinear lens) in contrast with cameras using a fisheye lens. So if you want to calibrate your webcam or smartphone, read this section.
- Make a calibration board.
- Create a charuco board or a grid board. See the Create Markers page for details.
- Print the generated image on paper. Stick it on a hard cardboard: the paper must remains as flat as possible during the calibration (Fig.1).
Fig.1: Different viewpoints of a charuco calibration board. From OpenCV: https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/da/d13/tutorial_aruco_calibration.html
- Open the
Assets/ArucoUnity/Scenes/CalibrateCamera.unity
scene. - Configure the
ArucoWebcam
game object (Fig.2).- Set the
WebcamId
to select the camera you want to use. The first camera's id is0
. You can list the available webcams with WebCamTexture.devices. MonoArucoCameraDisplay.AutoStart
is uncheck because the video stream is displayed by theArucoCameraCalibrationGUI
object.
- Set the
Fig.2: Default configuration of ArucoWebcam
using the first webcam (id=0
).
- Configure the calibration board on the
PinholeCameraCalibration
game object (Fig.3).- Set the
CalibrationBoard
with a charuco board or a grid board. Both are already created in the scene to help you. - Configure the calibration board object by measuring the one you just printed : units are in meters this time. The
ArucoObjectDisplayer
helps you visualize the configured board to see if it's match with the printed one. Don't switch x and y values.
- Set the
- Optionally adjust parameters on the
PinholeCameraCalibration
game object.- Set the output camera parameters file with
CameraParametersController
. The folder is relative to persistentDataPath in builds or to the "Asset" folder of your projet in the editor. If the filename is empty, it will be automatically generated from the Aruco camera used. - Configure the board detection with
DetectorParametersController
parameters. They are described on the Detector Parameters section of the ArUco camera calibration tutorial. - Configure the calibration flags with
PinholeCameraCalibrationFlags
. They are described on the calib3d::calibrateCamera() function documentation.
- Set the output camera parameters file with
Fig.3: PinholeCameraCalibration
configured with a charuco board.
- Run the scene and interact with the UI to calibrate your camera (Fig.4).
 Think to deactivate the autofocus of your camera: a calibration is done for only one focal length at the time. - Take at least 10 images of you calibration board in different positions and orientations without moving the camera between each snapshot. See this example of images.
- Reset the image list if you want to start over with the
Reset
button. - Calibrate your camera with the image list with the
Calibrate
button. The reprojection error is displayed to score the calibration precision: it should be close to 0 px. Read the responses of this stackoverflow question to improve your calibrations.

Calibrate a stereoscopic camera
The process is the same as in the Calibrate a camera section but we use differents camera and calibration scripts.
- Make a calibration board.
- Open the
Assets/ArucoUnity/Scenes/CalibrateCamera.unity
scene. - Configure the camera:
- Deactivate the
ArucoWebcam
game object. - Drag
Assets/ArucoUnity/Prefabs/Cameras/StereoArucoWebcam.prefab
into the scene. - Set
StereoArucoWebcam.WebcamId1
,StereoArucoWebcam.WebcamId2
and uncheckStereoArucoCameraDisplay.AutoStart
(Fig.5).
- Deactivate the
Fig.5: Stereo webcam configured to use the first (id1=0
) and the second webcam (id2=1
)
- Configure the calibration:
- Deactivate the
PinholeCameraCalibration
game object. - Drag
Assets/ArucoUnity/Prefabs/Calibration/StereoPinholeCameraCalibration.prefab
into the scene. - Set
StereoPinholeCameraCalibration.ArucoCamera
withStereoArucoWebcam
(Fig.6). - Set
ArucoCameraCalibrationGUI.ArucoCameraCalibration
withStereoPinholeCameraCalibration
(Fig.7). - Optionally adjust detection and calibration parameters.
- Deactivate the
Fig.6: StereoPinholeCameraCalibration
configured with a charuco board.
Fig.7: ArucoCameraCalibrationGUI
configured with StereoPinholeCameraCalibration
.
- Run the scene and calibration your camera (Fig.8).
Fig.8: Calibration scene running.
Calibrate a fisheye camera
Follow the Calibrate a stereoscopic camera section but use OmnidirCameraCalibration
prefab for a monoscopic camera or StereoOmnidirCameraCalibration
prefab for a stereoscopic camera (Fig.9).
Fig.9: Calibration scene running for a stereoscopic fisheye camera.
The algorithms used are described in this tutorial: Omnidirectional Cameara [sic] Calibration.
Reuse calibration data
You may already have calibrated your camera and want to directly reuse your calibration data. Aruco Unity doesn't use the YAML format used by OpenCV to store these data but use XML files. Therefore you need to create by hand calibration file for Aruco Unity.
Make a copy of Assets/ArucoUnity/CameraParameters/<CameraType>Example.xml
and transfer your calibration data.


#assign ddlMode="active">
Most of the time we use dropCreate
mode which means that the database will
be dropped and then re-created before we run all the tests.
We use migrationDropCreate to test database migrations.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| dropCreate | Drop and then create all the tables etc. Most commonly used mode. |
| none | Do not run any DDL. Useful if we want to run 1 particular test without any DDL change. |
| migrationDropCreate | Run the DB migration but first delete the database first ensuring the migration runs against a new database. |
| migration | Run the DB migration. Good for testing migrations run as expected. |
| create | Run the create-all.sql DDL script but delete and recreate the database first. |
| createOnly | Run the create-all.sql DDL script but without recreating the database first. |

Chemical Programming in Earl-Grey
September 27, 2015
While driving home from Madison, I decided to listen to The Changelog and my favorite topic is always languages so I opted for their episode with Carin Meier on Clojure and her new book, Living Clojure. In the podcast, Carin discusses her love of reading PLT and especially unconventional paradigms. Though my ability to read PLT is limited (I have little-to-no background in Calculus), I do really love finding innovative ways to program.
It just so happens that Carin's mentioned upcoming talk on the chemical computing paradigm happened just this past week and was uploaded the day I got back home! So I decided to delve in and learn more about this interesting reaction-oriented paradigm.
Of course, whenever there is a well laid-out description of some programming/algorithm, I can't help but want to implement it and my current lingua scelta is Earl-Grey. So here are Carin Meier's exercises in chemically computing primes written in Earl-Grey:
require: underscore as U
predicate! is-prime = n ->
let possible-factors = range(2, n - 1)
let remainders = possible-factors each f -> n mod f
not true in [remainders each r -> r == 0]
print is-prime? 5 ;;= true
print is-prime? 6 ;;= false
primes = n -> [2..n] each val when is-prime? val -> val
print primes(100)[0..10] ;;= [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23]
prime-reaction = ({a, b} or a and b is undefined) ->
if undefined? b: return
elif a > b and (a mod b) == 0: {(a / b), b}
else: {a, b}
print prime-reaction({6, 2}) ;;= [ 3, 2 ]
print prime-reaction with {5, 2} ;;= [ 5, 2 ]
pairs = arr ->
var {i, result} = {0, {}}
for val of arr:
if i mod 2 == 0: result ++=
else: result[i - result.length] ++= val
i += 1
result
molecules = range(2, 50)
mix-and-react = mols ->
mixed = pairs(U.shuffle(consume(mols)))
reacted = mixed each m -> prime-reaction(m)
U.without(U.flatten(reacted), null)
r-cycle = n -> f(n, molecules) where
f = (i, mols) ->
if i == 0: mols
else: f(i--, mix-and-react(mols))
print U.sort-by(set(r-cycle(1000)).toJSON()) where
set = a -> new Set(a)
;;= [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47]
Check out the article for more info and the demos shown in the video.
I was surprised how easily I was able to translate some of the Clojure code into Earl Grey. There were a few details of the JSverse that needed washing over but I would say this looks readable even for someone not familiar with Earl Grey. Let me know if there is anything that you don't follow (or any JS detail that I could simplify). Thanks and hope you enjoyed the talk and my translation!


This library provides a form builder interface to create JSON based forms.
These forms could then be handed off to a Form Renderer such as the one found @ https://github.com/formio/ngFormio, which is able to render this JSON schema in the application in realtime.
